There was a reason for Amazon cancelling my La Femme Nikita pre-order. The DVD box set has been RECALLED!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo! I have waited all year for this release! After work, Lisa and I went out determined to find a copy somewhere. The reviews on Amazon hinted that many shops weren’t aware of the recall and had the DVDs out on the shelf. We went to Target, Borders, and Barnes & Noble without any luck. “Where to now?” I said defeatedly. Lisa replied, “Let’s go to Best Buy, you have always had luck with Best Buy! Think of all the things you’ve found there: Run Lola Run, Hedwig and the Angry Inch Soundtrack, Coach Opp…” Lisa’s words gave me hope and off to Best Buy we flew. They did not have it although I did buy the first season of Wonder Woman. We watched it later and gosh– it was just as I remembered. At any rate, after Best Buy we drove all the way into Philly to Tower Records. They also did not have it. We came home empty-handed.
So does anyone have any suggestions? Yes, I know I can go to eBay and buy it for $200.00 but I don’t want to spend that much money. I also know that as soon as I shell out that amount, Warner Home Video will release it. Who would have a copy of it and be unaware of the recall?
One word: bootleggers. Someone tried to sell me a hot copy of “The Passion of Christ” in Connecticut while the film had just started playing in the States. I’m sure some enterprising soul will see the need to copy an unrecalled “Femme” set to sell. Just don’t tell anyone, shhh…..
Ps The small weight gain comes from your body’s defensive mechanism when starved- it retains weight under the altruistic desire to prevent you from illness and famine. I’ve been fighting all year with bulge gained in Mexico, where illness and famine are a real threat to anyone’s life…
Pete loves the movie “Run Lola, Run”…i have never seen it…he is always telling me about it though.
